  • U.S. Vice President JD Vance issued a warning to Tehran on Wednesday, hours after a "fragile truce" was agreed between the US and Iran.
  • Vance said that if Iran does not engage in good faith, they will learn that President Donald Trump "is not one to mess around," following Trump's earlier threats.
  • President Trump declared a "total and complete victory" for the agreement, which will see Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz and led to oil prices falling below $100.
